Its something I find really curious about the US. It seems that years upon years...generation upon generation has made you view the Constitution like its the only thing keeping you together.

The Australian Constitution (yes we have one) is basically the same as yours (with the exception of the 2nd Amendment) Ask an Australian if they have freedom of speech and they will tell you "of course we do" now ask them where that is in the Constitution and they wouldnt have a clue.

IMO the Constitution of any country should be given an overhaul every ten years to keep up with the times.

I, personally, don't hold the constitution near and dear to my heart. IMO there are too many parts that can seem ambiguous and parts that have been picked apart to suit specific needs. I find the amendments, for the most part, appropriate. I dislike people who harp incessantly about 'their' constitutional rights. I've read the constitution, I get why it was written and what it stands for. I don't find the document 'untouchable'.
